Answer:

The reference point in an electrical circuit to measure voltages is called Earth or Ground; that point is a direct hookup to earth that helps stabilizing electrical currents to prevent high voltage surges.

What makes a substance easily grounded is to be a good energy conductor; metallic objects are generally good energy conductors aka GEM "Ground Enhancement Materials" and they are mostly produced from rocks and minerals. That's why the answer is (B.) Iron Nail.

Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

Part A)

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
θ1 is the first angle, 30°
θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

$y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2}$ (1)

For the second stone

$0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$

$0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$ (2)

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

$t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

$t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

First stone

$x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}$

Second stone

$x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}$

$x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}$

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

erastovalidia [21]

Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.
